I bought this Unisaw for $200 from the daughter of the original owner. It was in very good original condition for its age. I replaced the bearings in the arbor and the motor and set up the motor for 220v with the help of several OWWM members. I painted it with Hammerite Grey out of a can and I'm really happy with how it looks. An OWWM member sold me a newer table with T slots and I used the original table as an extension/router table, hence "The Doublewide". The Unifence came from Plaza Machinery. The goose egg cover was salvaged from a 1951 Unisaw and that is a story in itself. In the past I have used a 1970s Emerson/Craftsman, a 1994 3hp Unisaw, a 1966 Powermatic 2hp 66, and a 1994 Inca 3hp 2100SE and I can honestly say that this saw with its' 1.5hp motor is nicer to use than any of them.

I could not have done this restoration with the help I received from OWWM, thanks guys!
